Probably some of the stuff he used in Apache Blue is no longer available. Was great stuff and was sad when I was about out.

Rockrat

Some of those really fit!!!

Rockrat

Loved Paco's AB lube but since I can't get it anymore, I use White Label Caranuba Blue lube on pretty well all smokeless loads without any issues. I powder coat some Boolits and on some rifle slugs that I plan on going above 2000fps, I coat the boolit with a much thinned LLA before I run them thru t...

Had a mule deer come thru the yard a few times late last Fall, and she only had a bit of hair on her rump about the size of my hand. No hair otherwise, anywhere. Thought "winters coming and she won't make it". Turned cold and never saw her again.

Rockrat

Take the battery cable off, let sit for 5 min, and re-attach. Code should have been cleared.

Rockrat

I have had good luck with Aquila and most anything CCI. My Federal was bought in bulk packs at least 20 years ago--good stuff!! Subsonic is usually CCI subsonic hp or Norma match

Rockrat

Anyone use TW25b lube in the cold? Understand its used on the Vulcan 20 mm and I figure if the Viper is cruising at 35K it pretty cold up that high, so might work well.

Rockrat

Probably nearing 80K psi.!!!

Rockrat

On some things like 9mm, maybe be cheaper to buy, but for so much else, reloading is a lot cheaper. I can load 45-70 350gr lead bullet loads for about $8 a box, vs the gun show price this last weekend of $60 a box. Hate to think what a box of 32-20 cost, or 44-40 or 45 Colt, but bet I can save a lot...

Rockrat

Wish I would have taken a few pics of the thing. Octagon barrel also. Never did see it leave or on a table. Someone must have bought/traded for it and put it away in a case.

Rockrat

While helping check in guns at our local show, guy came in with an 1894 in 30 WCF. 5 digit s/n (palindrome also) with a pistol grip stock and what looked like a 28" barrel (nickle steel). Supposedly made in 1897. Was trying to get him to price it, but he never would. Not a 94 fan, but somehow t...

Rockrat

You might be able to send a few bullets to Tom at Accurate moulds and he should be able to duplicate it in one of his great moulds.

Rockrat

Friend of mine had one long ago. Kept it in its storage crate. Said it kicked like a mule and went thru steel like a hot knife thru butter. Long gone.

Rockrat

Those pound and a half cats make for good eatin!!

Rockrat

Almost looks like the mag tube is bent downwards a bit. You could move the adapter back to where it should be and use some blue loctite on the mag tube to hold the adapter in place. I would tighten it a bit more so with added torque on the screw and loctite, it should stay in place.

Rockrat

I have Dads old Remington Rand. He had it nickle plated to withstand the environment during the Korean War. He was on B-29's. Its scary accurate. Beat out a Gold Cup I used to have.

Rockrat

Bill in Oregon put it better than I can also. Prayers up for you.

Rockrat

I get a lot of my tires at Walmart.com and have them shipped to the house. Saves on sales tax and they are usually cheaper than at the store. Sams club and Costco would be my next two choices.

Rockrat

Try the CCI Subsonic, called nowadays I think CCI Suppressor. 970 fps with a 45gr HP. Shoots well and fairly quiet out of a 27" barrel.

Rockrat

So, light loads for my 458 win I guess!!! Kind of a spider web effect around the Weiss ring, but 75% of the spider web is gone after a week, but ring still there. Did "bonk" my head on the tail boom of an Aircraft but that was at least a week before and t-boned a guy last year when he came...

Rockrat

Haying here also. My allergies have been on afterburner

Rockrat

Doc didn't say anything. My fault, should have asked though

Rockrat

I still have some of that stuff and you are correct, it is some pretty good ammo, especially for bulk pack

Rockrat

Just been diagnosed with this and wondering if anyone else had dealt with this? How did it affect your shooting? Did you have to lay off for awhile or restrict what you shoot?
Can I shoot 22 lr and maybe up to 308? Leave the 45-70 and 12ga in the safe? How about pistol shooting??
Thanks

Rockrat

I had a pet bull when I was a teenager. He was only a few days old when a friend and I were fishing at Grandads pond when he walked across the pond dam to come look at us. He stopped about 5 ft away and I kind of scooted over to him and let him smell my hand. He was OK with that so I moved closer an...

Rockrat

And if you cast your own for the 45 acp, then your cost per hundred drops significantly

Rockrat

I remember a spate of aircraft being fueled with jet fuel instead of avgas. IIRC, the new delivery people put jet fuel in the avgas tanks. Refinery bought some aircraft engines. At another airport, the line boys saw props, so filled with avgas. Those were expensive lessions Friend had thieves hittin...

Rockrat

Now THATS about like my bench!!

Rockrat

Amateurs all. Think my bench would win the messiest award.

Rockrat

Instead of the gas pump, it should be the register at the grocery store!! Making the gas people look like amateurs!! And don't get me started on the drug companies!!!!

Rockrat

There was a post on another forum about subsonic 30-30 loads using the 170gr Sub-x bullet and Titegroup was mentioned. Friend uses it in his 38 special 105gr bullet loads. Think he is only running around 850fps out of his Ruger.

Rockrat

I have one of the Baikal O/U 410's. Its choked IC/F. Have shot skeet with it and it does pretty well. Its built on a 12ga frame, IIRC, so its pretty hefty. Stock up on 410 ammo when you can find it, but be prepared, its $$$ nowadays. Been playing with loading some 410 shells using 9.3x74r brass. Nee...

Rockrat

Godspeed Sir.
Never formally met him, but enjoyed so many of his writings over the years, just as I did Skeeter Skeltons. We have lost a fountain of knowledge and a good man. Prayers for his family and all those who knew him.

Rockrat

Yeah, they need a faster twist to stabilize. Think they were designed for suppressor use. I have a brick somewhere. Friend tried some in his 550 but no joy, but his wife tried them in her Ruger Super single six and they shot very well

Rockrat

If I had to wait till the wind was less than 15mph, I would only have a 10 min window at our range. It seems like it is always blowing out there.

Rockrat

Favorite is my Marlin 39A followed by a Super single six. Did pick up a Ruger precision rimfire that is amazingly accurate. It likes everything I have shot thru it, about 8 different types, from Norma 22 Match to some old Federal stuff. Pretty much cloverleafs it all with just a bit tighter cloverle...

Rockrat

What weight boolit? Looks like Caranuba blue lube--good stuff, its what I use for most stuff

Rockrat

Need to get some potato starch as a "just in case". Black pepper works, but it also burns a bit too!!!

Gets tougher to do CPR for long, as you get older, especially above 6000 ft. altitude!!

Rockrat

I think Universal has been discontinued

Also, how sharp should the firing pin be on a SAA? I picked up a nickled 357mag that pierces primers regularly. Even with factory 38 spcl ammo. If you dropped the hammer on your finger, you would have quite a hole in your finger.

Rockrat

With that long tail, I am more inclined to say that was a young mountain lion

Rockrat

Its with the 10mm sockets/wrenches

Rockrat

Wonder if the pressure would be lower with a lightly lubed bullet making for a lowered coefficient of friction. Not as much resistance pushing the bullet down the bore giving a bit higher rate of acceleration. Higher velocities with lower pressures?

Rockrat

Just a thought. Would the increase in velocity be accompanied with a decrease in pressures, or is max pressure occuring before the bullet even leaves the cylinder?

Rockrat

I have taken thinned Lee Liquid Alox (LLA) for use with homogenous solids. Thin it about 10-1, mineral spirits to LLA. I do lots of cast boolits that way if I am going to run them thru a lubrisizer as it makes them go thru the lubrisizer so much easier if I have to size them down more than .001"...

Rockrat

IIRC,blow out the neck of a 284 Win and make a fairly straight walled case and you pretty well have a rimless 45-70. Or better yet (and cheaper) maybe a barrel chambered in 45 Raptor or just a plain 458 Socom. Brass and dies and barrels already out for that one. Pretty well a rimless 45-70 it seems ...

Rockrat

An exceptional person with exceptional talent. Glad to see you are still with us, but also understand your wish

Rockrat

Glad you and the family are OK.
Friend went thru a F5, or should I say, left his house 3 min. before it hit. His mother-in-laws house down the road only had the foundation left, even took off the linoleum on the floor. His house had two walls left and his daughters car was thru the front door

Rockrat

Walt----you are not alone my brother, you are not alone!!!

Rockrat

Would be close between my stainless 357/9mm convertable 6.5" or my 5.5" blued 45acp/45 colt. Do I have to include my SBH?? If so, then I would take it!!

Rockrat

Happy Easter. He is Risen!!!
